Hello matthias,
thanks for reply.
i'll try to explane my problem:
i am in toolPlugin that need to know at each refresh the object under mouse.
viewportselect::pickobject have very bad performance if you perform a serch with radius and i need a very intensive use of this tool.
i know in opengl is possible to render scene objects with different color (one color for each object) in an offscreen (not visible) buffer and by asking the pixel color in this buffer i can know witch object is under mouse.
i'dd like to implement some like this to speedup my plugin, but i don't exactly know if is possible with current sdk.
videopost PLUGINFLAG_VIDEOPOST_GL can help me ?
all the best
